Sisterly Bonding: Tia Tastes Tamera’s Placenta

During the season finale of their reality show, Tamera somehow coaxed Tia into eating her placenta and Tia found it to be pretty tasty. She wrote on the Style Network’s website:

Tasting Tamera’s encapsulated placenta was very interesting! If you think about it too much, you’re not going to like it, because all you’re going to think about is that you’re consuming placenta. But I was really, really surprised that it tasted pretty good mixed with a little bit of alcohol. It was definitely Tamera paying me back for making her taste my breast milk. I tasted my own breast milk and I still think my breast milk was sweeter than Tamera’s placenta!

Chugging down placenta definitely sounds a bit gross, especially when it’s not your own, but it’s actually a practice that is popular in quite a few cultures. The placenta is said to be rich in nutrients and will greatly assist the mother in recovering from childbirth, as well as help with milk supply.

Peep video from last night’s episode below (if you dare):

Milk is 1 thing, I would taste a drop 0f my sis breast milk. But you arent gonna put your bloody placenta juice near my lips & try to spice it w/ some Brandy. SWERVEEEEEEEE thats just, ugh. I dont think I could even drink my own lol. I heard of people drying it & taking it as capsule or rubbing it on their skin. I’ll just plant a tree w/ it lol

*puts down her subway sandwich* ok this was one of those things that shoulda remained a sisterly twinnie secret. I know its customary in some cultures but rest assued you will recover just fine from childbirth without having to eat the placenta.

I’m going to say I don’t see anything really wrong with it. Eating your placenta is actually becoming more of a common practice. It’s not my cup of tea but to each his own. And I’ve tasted my breastmilk before, it’s actually pretty good lol. I applaud them for showing something less talked about on TV and definitely less talked about in the black community. I’m a super supporter of exclusive breastfeeding and anything else that promotes better health for moms and babies!

Second the motion! I breatfed my daughter (without the support of my family) & it was one of the best decisions I made for my daughter…..I tried my own milk also & it was pretty sweet. No wonder she liked it so much lol…..

Yup, my family is also not supportive of my decision to breastfeed, they think it’s unnatural (which is ironic because it’s the way women have been feeding their children before formula ever existed lol). But it is such a healthy decision to make for your child and it really is a beautiful experience every time you nurse.

So y’all mean to tell me that you wont taste a placenta full of vitamins nutrients and all but will play tongue hockey with some of other dirty human instruments..you know where im saying lol it ain’t for evrybody! But we all have ate worst.
People eat plenty of things in the name of health and even pleasure.
I love watching their show, I think these girls are adorable

Meat we consume was once bloody. If you google placenta most of the articles are about mothers eating their own placenta. It’s taught that it helps prevent postpartum depression and improves breast milk. Tia had a complicated pregnancy with little Cree all upside down and Tamera spoke this season about serious depression she had so she may have felt susceptible to it and tried this measure and after she drank Tia’s breastmilk she decided not to have to try it out alone.

Very true, people put far worse in their mouths lol. And Circ, it does contain blood but it’s not consumed raw, most people cook it or encapsulate it like Tamera did. There’s actually a lot of recipes out there for placenta lol.

I watched this last night and was just talking about it. I have to admit I was grossed out watching it. I love the two of them, but I thought this was TMI. I know this is not an American custom, and so it sound weird; but I confess I’ve never heard of it. I won’t knock it, but I was disgusted watching it.

Lord hammercy! So is this going to be the new trend for now on? I love Tia and Tamera, and if they choose to eat placenta, that’s their business, but this is one bandwagon I would NOT jump on. If you’ve seen your own placenta after giving birth, there is nothing appetizing about it.

Its very natural even though we think of it to be nasty. I breed dogs and the female eats the placenta of every puppy she has. It help to get her back healthy and as Necole put it it helps with the milk as well. It has a lot of vitamins and minerals in it. But it’s still the thought of eating the placenta is still gross.

This isn’t for everyone… including myself. I’ve tasted my breast milk but to keep it 100 it was by mistake. I was trying to be sexy with my husband and… Yeah sooo. I’d rather take my vitamins than eat placenta :-). Team Flintstones Chewables
